Fay Taylour: Queen of the Speedway

Glossy, illustrated boards, 16.2 by 24 cm, vi 217 pp., illus. Fine, unread copy. “Fay Taylour was the most successful woman speedway rider – ever. Her short but meteoric career spanned just a few years in the mid to late ‘20s: in 1930 women were banned from the speedway and she switched to racing cars. In these few years Fay first made a name for herself in Trials riding, beating many established riders including Marjorie Cottle and won several Gold Medals. Then she discovered speedway where she earned the title ‘Queen of the Speedway’ in what must surely be one of the toughest sports on a motorcycle.” (case) First Edition.
